SCC Initiatives

The Standards Coordinating Council is working on the development of a collection of initiatives or projects that could be positioned for assessment as implementation use cases to further advance the goals of information sharing and safeguarding and emphasize I2F principles. A short description of current initiatives is provided here.

Note: This page is currently being developed. Once complete, it will have more detailed information about each of the initiatives/projects.

Provide recommendations to enable full-round-tripping from NIEM information exchange packages (IEP) to Geography Markup Language (GML) features and back to provide a comprehensive view of NIEM and GML capabilities and to document NIEM architectural gaps.

Test and demonstrate 1) use of NIEM 3.0 tagging related to IC data encoding specifications and 2) round tripping of NIEM IEPs to GML features and back.

Test and demonstrate use of an API for operating on GML feature representations leveraging NIEM components; features may be searched, retrieved, inserted, updated, and deleted.

Enabling the free flow of information in support of statewide law enforcement, homeland security, and emergency management missions to prevent, mitigate, respond to, investigate, and recover from all man-made and natural hazards.

Providing secure access to information and actionable intelligence for participating agencies, across the public and private sectors, to better assure the safety and security of New Jersey communities.

Providing network, data, and application services in a trusted, Internet-based federation, in conformance with the national standards for information sharing and safeguarding.

Optimizing investment through the use and reuse of business and technological frameworks that have been effectively implemented in relevant state and national initiatives.

Enabling the free flow of information. The Maritime Information Sharing Environment (MISE) as defined in the National Maritime Architecture Plan enables secure, standardized sharing of maritime information among a wide variety of federal, state, and local agencies as well as international participants.

Providing secure access to information. The design of MISE interface security has followed a number of patterns used in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management (GFIPM).

Current systems that are implemented to support the emergency management community are typically developed using proprietary data models that may inhibit information sharing. The IMIS Framework recommends an architecture where standard information encodings and standard data services are implemented in the IMIS-compliant systems to support the necessary data exchanges and improve overall interoperability between systems holding information and systems supporting consumers of the information.

This effort plans to address cross-border information sharing between Canada and US emergency management mission partners. Standardized information sharing will provide the mission partners across the borders to maintain and reach back into the situation awareness information, and where conditions match, a standardized message generated and sent based on pre-defined policies (rules). The goal of the project is to validate and enhance the IEF architecture.

The primary goal of the combined project is to develop, test, and implement a standards-based offender information sharing capability between departments of correction and community service providers and government agencies who seek to reduce recidivism and victimization and who are tasked with providing support and supervision of adult offenders during reentry, with particular focus on offenders with mental health and substance abuse issues.
